Making the Most of Residential Photovoltaic Systems (Brochure)

This brochure showcases a demonstration project in Florida that produced some remarkable results by incorporating advanced energy technologies into newly built housing. It's a 'quick read' based on a much longer report, and it enables readers to grasp the potential of combining solar technologies (specifically, photovoltaics or PV) with energy efficiency measures. Sufficient detail is provided onthe measures used-and the energy saved-to excite readers and encourage them to either dive into the longer report or visit one of the many Web sites listed on the back cover. The goal is to show people the benefits of making wise personal choices about energy use... and how large-scale use of these technologies can benefit the nation. This is one of a series of brochures that presentsstimulating information about photovoltaics, with a goal of helping to push this technology into the power-generation mix in different utilities, communities, and states.
